This is my friend Hannah. ⁠

⁠Hannah is a civil engineer, native Portlander, bike enthusiast, friend, sister, daughter, wife, lover of music, literature, and art, and one of the biggest hearts I know. She is daring and always willing to try new things and go on new adventures. So, it's no wonder she jumped right on board when I invited her to join the Full Voice course this fall. Little did she know she would wind up reading scenes from a staged adaptation of 𝐿𝒾𝓉𝓉𝓁𝑒 π’²π‘œπ“‚π‘’π“ƒ before the course was through!⁠

⁠Hannah joined Full Voice with an open mind and an open heart. What she thought might be a journey getting to know her singing voice turned out to be so much more than that.⁠

⁠As part of a dynamic group, she practiced deep listening and the power of silence, of pausing to reflect before speaking.⁠

⁠As part of her own self-growth, she found herself looking inward and getting more in touch with her inner voice.⁠

⁠She heard her own desire to step into her spoken voice, reading and embodying a character through acting.⁠

⁠And she followed that voice.⁠

⁠By the end of the course, Hannah realized just how dynamic her voice really is. ⁠

⁠During our final meeting, as she described where her growth had taken her, she proclaimed,

"There is nothing I can't do with my voice."⁠

⁠THIS is the power of finding and standing up in your Full Voice. πŸ’ͺπŸ’₯❣️β
